This video presents a rare case of image-guided percutaneous embolization of a residual Barrow type D carotid-cavernous fistula via the inferior ophthalmic vein. After conventional transvenous treatment failed, direct transorbital access was achieved using Brainlab AngioFusion for trajectory planning and Siemens Needle Guidance for real-time alignment. The procedure resulted in symptom resolution and restored vision, highlighting the critical role of intraoperative navigation tools in treating anatomically challenging CCFs.
